Reborn As A Beast Queen with Too Many Husbands to Pet novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Name

“And what, your name’s dipped in gold or something?” Annelise snapped. “You think saying it out loud’s gonna shatter it?”

Riven paused.

His lips parted, but no sound came out.

Annelise narrowed her eyes. So that’s the game he wanted to play? Fine.

He hesitated for another second, then gave in with a huff. “It’s Riven Hollander. I’m thirty- three.”

“Wait, thirty-three? You haven’t lost your mind? Still alive?”

Riven gave her the dumbest look she’d ever seen. “This tribe really is bottom-tier. The guys here are weak. Not all male shifters go nuts at twenty-five. The stronger we are, the later it hits.

“And even when it does, we don’t drop dead.

“My breed’s high-end. We don’t even start losing it till we’re forty or fifty-if we’re still single, that is.”

Annelise thought about Rokky.

He’d gone feral once too, but he survived.

Riven’s logic actually tracked.

Rokky was definitely stronger than the big bunny or the little fox.

If Riven ranked higher than Rokky, then what kind of monster was he?

It also explained why strong males couldn’t be bonded by just any matriarch. That was expected.

Their chief just couldn’t take the loss and started acting out.

That sealed it. Riven was the bait she’d been needing,

She’d told the High Priest she couldn’t find a good candidate. Now she had one.

He was tough. He was cocky. He was perfect.

“Here. Take my jacket.”

She peeled it off and dropped it over Riven. If she didn’t, he’d start whining that she was throwing herself at him.

Good partnerships start with basic respect.

Riven blinked. That… caught him off guard.

Then he muttered, “I’m not cold. Don’t freeze yourself for

my

sake.”

“It’s nothing! I’ll cover Greenie, replace your clothes, and let you pick as many chickens as you want from my stock!”

Annelise smacked her hand to her chest. “I’ve got every kind. All of them alive! Males, females, fully matched. I’ve even got a shifter who keeps ’em hyper. He raises them right. They thrive. Lay eggs like a machine. Super quick cycle.”

That got Riven thinking.

If the hens laid fast, he could flip them into cash Trade for clothes. Even if he torched another outfit, he’d have backups ready.

“So what’s the catch? If you’re planning to bond with me, forget it. Not happening. Don’t even

ask.”

“Dude, I get it. You’re good-looking, but I’m not trying to date you. I already have four

mates.”

She flashed him four fingers.

Every single one of them was loyal. Sweet. And one hundred percent hers.

She didn’t need a brute who couldn’t take no for an answer.

“I just need you to act as bait. We’re gonna trick the chief into trying to contract you. Don’t worry, she won’t succeed.”

That didn’t bother Riven at all. “This tribe’s full of mid-level weaklings. No one here’s got the juice to bond me.”

Annelise lifted a brow.

Guess there was always someone more beast than man out there.

“So you’re in?”

“I’m in, but I want to see your chickens first.”

“Deal. Once it’s dark, come with me. Just turn down the fire show a bit near camp, got it?”

Riven gave her a sharp side-eye but nodded.

Deal sealed. Annelise didn’t even feel cold anymore. Riven’s body heat was enough to keep her toasty.

That changed the second the stone at the entrance shifted. The scrape echoed through the space as Adrian poked his head in.

Her body went cold, not from the air, but from the glare in those bunny eyes.
